I’m a hugger. But, I can also recognize when people aren’t huggers and I won’t force you to hug me. No pinky promises though.

I have my MBA, but no, I did not get my master’s in grammar. Or geography. Just ask my husband how I told him all about the 52 states. Ahem.

I’m honest. Even when it’s not pretty. Some people hate me for it and other’s appreciate it. I don’t like things sugar-coated.

I danced on a college dance team and I still occasionally pretend that I am peforming at a basketball game. Except most of the time I am performing in my kitchen for the boys. Who says moms can’t have good moves?

When I quit my job a few months ago, my husband and I started up a couple’s blog called Dollars and Roses! Our goal…to show YOU how to make money by blogging.

I don’t drink. In fact, I’ve never had a beer in my life. Not even in college. *gasp* (I’m not judging anyone who does drink, I just choose not to.)

I use to be a military wife. My husband is a Certified Financial Planner, but he use to be a soldier. A soldier who spent 17 months in Baghdad, Iraq. A true hero.

I like to think I’m still fun even without the alcohol.

I live a mile from my parents. I talk to my mom every single day. They help us out so much with the kids that it’s not even funny. Love them so!

So there you have it. A post about ME. Thank goodness I don’t normally write posts about ME. This took me at least a half a day. Ha!

And while I’ve titled this post, “I’m More Than Just a Mom”, I must admit that nothing satisfies me more than that title alone.

i loved reading about you. i like kodi think we could be bff’s!
i personally don’t drink either and don’t judge those who do, it’s just my personal conviction. i love just hanging out with my family….mainly my parents who live in my yard!
this post was neat and really awesome to learn a little about mandy!:)

I love this about me post. I am a total rules follower. My friends always tell me I’m a goodie goodie but I wouldn’t have it any other way. My mom is my best friend and I talk to her everyday if not see her everyday.Lynsey´s last blog post ..Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It’s Off To School He Goes

First off I LOVE your new header!!! So so cute! Second I loved this post, when I think back to high school I never would have though that 12 years later we would be friends! I appreciate your honesty on this blog and in real life, and I think that showing your imperfections here or anywhere else, reaches more people for Jesus Christ then you know. God’s grace is so good! Great post Mandy!!!

You are too cute! I’m right there with you on the Type A/OCD/ADD; my college roommates used to say I was like living with a fun little chihuahua. 🙂 We should get together sometime when we’re in your area!Lori´s last blog post ..Plus/Delta

FRIEND. We’re the same person… minus I do drink and often think I’m a better person because of it [I kid…mostly]. And you rocked that red blazer on your way to Blissdom. I owe you a guest blog post — yikes…. need to work on that asap! J is on the move now and my “normal” routine has come to a screeching halt. I have not a clue how you juggle all that you do. Jackson crawling is making me consider just having one mini?!?! Not really.

Okay, I’ve loved catching up and am kicking myself for not going to Blissdom. Do tell – did you have to stand up in front of wayyyy too many people and talk about yourself? That terrifies me. Or was it just comfortable and small group stuff?darci´s last blog post ..a day in the life.
